What next for Arsenal?

Any other supporter concerned for next season? I am. They usually end the season playing well and giving hope for the next one, but quite the opposite has happened this time :( With two months left everything was going fine, but it collapsed in alarming fashion to the extent that they suffered the humiliation of finishing behind Man City. Fortunately I managed to lay off my ew accumulator with Paddies by laying them for a top 3 place to secure a decent profit. However another two accas I had which had them in the top 2 missed out, with the result that I lost out on over 3 grand, to add to the 7.5 which happened last season :( :( :( 2nd last season and this season, and I'm five figures better off, pretty depressing stuff for a supporter, isn't it?

A work colleague asked me if I was only doing them because I support them. I can see where he is coming from, but I honestly do bets when I see value, and I simply couldn't make them a 7/1 chance at the start. I'm guessing I was proved right as they traded at 7/4, but then again you coud argue that their final position made their pre season odds about right?! A case that can be made either way I think. Also, I had one of my biggest wins of the season when they played Barca at home, and pretty sure I would have had another had it not been for the scandalous sending off at the Nou Camp.

I may change my approach for next season, at the very least I will do an ew acca or two which doesnt include the premiership. It's pretty gutting to pick teams to finish in the top 3 of the other leagues for two years running (most of them at double figure prices!) only to be let down by the club I support :(

I might have to give poker a complete break at the end of this month, I can't stop running horrifically on stars in the 50fiftys and there seems no end in sight.

Brighter news, Chalfont were confirmed as being promoted to the Southern League Division One Central, loads of local derbys including Uxbridge, which is literally a couple of miles up the road and much quicker to get to than a home game :D

There will be a share tip or two in my next post :0

Hope you are faring better than me.
